Commercial Roofing Experts Serving Detroit, Michigan
Lincoln Park Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred roofer delivering commercial roofing in Detroit, MI — 6,000+ roofs completed in 36 years, and most Detroit commercial roofing projects are booked within 5 business days.
Detroit's housing stock is one of the most diverse in the country — Brush Park and Indian Village feature 1880s-1920s Victorians, Boston-Edison and Palmer Park have 1900s-1930s Tudors and Colonials, and outer neighborhoods like Rosedale Park and Grandmont have 1930s-1950s bungalows and 1950s-60s ranches across vast working-class blocks. At Lincoln Park Roofing, we know Detroit's roofs inside and out — homes along Woodward Ave, Gratiot Ave, and Grand River face different commercial roofing pressures than a typical suburb, and our commercial roofing approach is built for exactly that.
Every Detroit commercial roofing project follows Michigan Residential Building Code and the Owens Corning Preferred Contractor installation spec. According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, improper installation causes 47% of premature roof failures — which is why we never subcontract Detroit jobs.

“Detroit flat roofs need twice-yearly eyes on them. The ones that fail are the ones nobody looked at for ten years — ponding water and debris do 90% of the damage before the membrane cracks.”
— Scott, Owner of Lincoln Park Roofing · Owens Corning Preferred Contractor since 2011
6 Commercial Roofing Issues We See Every Week in Detroit
Victorian and Queen Anne homes downtown (1885-1925), Tudor and Colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most Detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century. These are the failure modes our crew documents most often on Detroit commercial roofing calls:
Ponding water on flat roofs
low spots holding standing water after every rain, accelerating membrane failure — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
EPDM seam separation
old rubber roofs with lifting seams at parapet walls and penetrations — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
Failing TPO seams
thermoplastic welds breaking down after 15-20 years of thermal cycling — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
Metal roof rust & panel gaps
corroded fasteners and shifted panels on older standing-seam systems — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
Clogged roof drains & scuppers
debris backups causing 1,000+ gallons of water to pool on the membrane — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
Leaks around HVAC curbs
failed flashing and caulking around rooftop equipment — common across Detroit victorian and queen anne homes downtown (1885-1925), tudor and colonial homes in mid-city (1908-1942), and post-war bungalows and ranches in outer neighborhoods (1942-1968) — most detroit roofs carry multiple shingle layers from successive re-roofs over a century.
How often should a Detroit commercial flat roof be inspected?
Twice a year — once in spring after winter snow and ice cycles, and once in fall before snow season. Detroit flat roofs accumulate debris, develop membrane cracks, and suffer seam failures that can be caught early during a 30-minute inspection. We offer annual maintenance contracts for Detroit commercial buildings.
